2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational live coverage: How to watch Round 1 on Thursday

This week the PGA Tour sticks around in Florida for the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. Here’s what you need to know to watch the first round on Thursday.

Previewing Arnold Palmer Invitational Round 1

Bryson DeChambeau took the golf world by storm in 2020, winning twice, including a dominant victory at the U.S. Open for his first major title. But things haven’t been going so well lately. He finished T22 last week at the WGC-Workday Championship, which followed a missed cut at the Genesis Invitational. He’ll look to turn his fortunes around on Thursday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Instruction

DeChambeau tees off for the first round at Bay Hill at 8:17 a.m. ET, beginning on the 10th tee. While plenty of fans will be tuning in to see Bryson hit monster drives, he’ll have some competition for attention within his own group. Jordan Spieth is paired with Bryson for the opening round, and the Spieth Watch is in full effect, with Spieth attempting to end a long victory drought. They’ll be joined by Justin Rose.

Below you will find everything you need to watch the first round on Thursday.
